The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake is already a sales hit in the UK, according to an analysis report that claimed the latest entry from Nintendo is the second-biggest Zelda launch in the country. Though Ocarina of Time is not an exact remake of the original 1998 title, the game's updated graphics and music have been a hit with fans.

As a remake of the Zelda franchise's first foray into 3D, Ocarina of Time set the tone for later entries such as Twilight Princess and The Wind Waker. Reviews of Ocarina of Time have been overwhelmingly favorable as of this writing, with several critics praising the quality-of-life changes Nintendo made while also preserving the spirit of the original N64 release. However, some criticism was also pointed at the game's save file system and graphical shimmering effects on distant objects.

Nintendo's Switch 2 Pro Controller offers several useful advantages in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, especially with its new controls.

Along with being the highest-rated game of 2026 on Metacritic as of this writing, Ocarina of Time can add another honor to its growing list of accolades. According to Christopher Dring of The Game Business , Ocarina of Time sold more first-week copies in the UK than Breath of the Wild managed upon its launch in 2017, as the former sold 35% more copies than the latter. Pierre485 on Twitter elaborated further by stating that Breath of the Wild sold an estimated 76,000 units in the UK within its March 2017 launch window.
